HOLDEN, Mo-, Sept. 26-At 2:30 o'clock
yesterday morning y fearful railroad acct
dent occurred here on the switch north Of
Bluhm's elevator, by which two persons
lost their lives. The special excursion
train Of eight coaches, carrying the New
York veteran firemen on their return home
from their recent visit TO San Francisco,
was passing eastward at q rapid speed,
when it suddenly turned on q switch which
had been left open through carelessness Of
Yardmaster George Tutthill The train
there collided with freight standing on
the side-track, waiting for the excursion TO
pass. The freight engine and ten
der were completely dcmol-
ished, and the passenger engine,
tender and baggage car were badly
wrecked. James Reed and William Ram
sey, two negroes living ut Warrensburg,
who were beating their way home from
Kansas City on the fr0nt end Of the bag.
gage car, were instantly killed. Their bod
les were terribly maugled, almost beyond
recognition. The veteran firemen showed
their skill and experience as experts in gath
ering up the remains Of the bodies and IN
restoring order in the chaos Of the wreck.
Several Of the regular passengers were
bruised and slightly injured.
SOMEBODY TO BLAME.
QUEBEC, Sept. GA shocking affair has
just been reported from the Island Orleans.
Friday, four little children belonging to
the family of T. GOOdbout, farmer living
close to the camping ground where the
Dominion Artillery Association held its an
nual competition q few weeks ago, vert
out to pick up pieces of exploded shell.
They came across large she'll which I'M
doubleday had not exploded after being
fired. Their curiosity Deing aroused, they
set to work to dissect the fuse, and applied
q lighted match, the result being that the
shell exploded, killing three of them in
stantly and injuring the fourth so seriously
that his life is despa;rcd of. The mother
has been unconscious ever since, and her
recovery is doubtful.
INDIANS OUT.
NoGALEs, Ariz., Sept. 26.-Private tele-
grams received here state that the major
portion Of the Indians on the San Carlos
reservation have gone on the war-path. So
far as can be learned the cause OF the out
break is not known. So far no one has
been killed, but depredations on stock
ranches have resulted in much loss, and
the intrepidIty of the Indians outrivals all
past exploits. The troops at the camp
north Of town have been ordered to prepare
for the march, and are standing under
arms. Business has almost entirely sus-
pended here, and the streets are filed with
people discussing the affair.
NEGRO WAR.
GREENWOOD, Miss, Sept. GA negro
named Henry Taylor killed another negro
on the Tallahachee river about two months
ago. An attempt was made by cOlOred
Masons to lynch him, but they were pre-
vented, Mr.. Stancll taking Taylor into
his house and protecting him. Since then
both Taylor and his wife have disap-
peared. One DAY last week body was
found in the river, which proved to be that
OF Taylor, and the impression is that
colored Masons made away with both him
and his wife. George Evans, who was
hanged here July % by negro mob, was
supposed to have been lynched by colored
Masons because he had killed one Of their
number. The feeling is getting to be strong
that the cOlored Masons take an oath III
their, secret organization to avenge tho
death of a brother Mason.
ANOTHER BALD-KNOB ORGANIZATION.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 26.-John Hard
castle, farmer living near Mountain
View, Stone County, with o large family
dependent on his labor for support, some
time ago had trouble with q neighbor about
the ownership OF drove of hogs and was
warned to leave the country. He started
to move, taking his effects in a wagon.
Five men followed him, and two of those,
concealing themselves in the under5rush
along the re adside, called to him, denOunc-
ing him as hog thief, and daring him to
leave the wagon. He seized his gun and
advanced toward the spot, when the men
in ambush opened fire on him, filling his
body, head and arms with buckshot. The
assassins are under arrest. Rumor con-
meets them with an organization similar 10
the Bald Knobbers of Missouri.
TWO SLEEPING MEN MURDERED.
San Francisco, CAL, Sept 26.-At Indian
Valley, about two hundred miles south,
John McArdle and ]. c. Reardon attempted
to file on q land claim previously entered
by Newton Azbell, the two former claiming
tuoE0 was u uc1CCt III Tic l1lICC . P6pcESs
A bitter dispute arose, and yesterday Az
bell went to the cabin built by McAr1le
and Rearden and shot the men while they
were in bed. They died instantly. The
murderer, who is a man Of family and had
hitherto borne q good reputation, surren-
dered himself to officers late in the day. So
far he refuses to talk.

Of convicts is reported at the Knoxville
Iron Company's coal mines at Coal Creek.

and the guards opened fire on them, wound
